Bravo! What a splendid sentiment. Let's resolve ourselves to recognise first and foremost the greatest civilisation of the Indian subcontinent, that of the Mughals. Tell me, can any of the pre-Mughal confederations even come close to the majesty achieved in Mughal times? This is the ultimate problem for saffronistan, the enforced self-loathing because of a perceived "tainted" history, the divergence from reason and facts that arises when Hindutva is asked to objectively appraise "Indian" civilisation. You expect the world to acknowledge the various contributors to India's present status, yet Hindutva itself openly eradicates its most important historical period in an orgy of anti-Muslim violence against person, property and culture. These philistines are brainwashed into a frenzy of effective book-burning and saffron-washing of their own history by their Hindutva leaders and they are willing participants in the exercise, egging Modi and Shah on at every opportunity. It's much too late to rescue them from their mosque-trashing, name-changing frenzy. A shame they couldn't be more cultured and mature in their outlook, say like the British, who place great value on the history of the various civilisations that raided and occupied and ultimately fused with the indigenous peoples of Britain - Vikings, Romans, Normans etc. I don't see frenzied mobs demanding Roman names be eradicated because "they were invaders" or "they brutalised indigenous tribes"...which they did do very ably btw. The Romans even brought foreign religious beliefs with them. You see, Brits have evolved intellectually to supersede such inferiority complexes and actually draw knowledge and wisdom from the groups that invaded Britain in eras past. They enriched the island of Britain despite originally being "invaders", yet in the precious victimised hindutva mind, the mughals were a grave historic injustice that must be set right by total eradication of their legacy.
I mean, what the fk is wrong with these people?
